Define Upstate
Zman, welcome to the metal detecting hobby. You made a fine choice with your new M-6. I run a dfx, but I hear the m6 has a lot of the same technology
only much easier to use. I wish you good luck with it. You might want to give a specific area of upstate N.Y. Upstate means different things to New Yorkers. For some it's anything north of the Bronx, and others it's north of Albany. To me it's anything north of I-90. Try Albany, Syracuse, Watertown, Buffalo areas, or whatever to kind of narrow things down. We have plenty of "upstaters" on this forum, someone will come forth.......Gil in Florida
